DENVER — Golden State coach P.J. Carlesimo will hold a conference call today to discuss facing Latrell Sprewell Saturday night in Oakland. But before last night’s game in Denver, Spree beat P.J. to the punch in expressing his “hatred” and “bitterness” toward the Warriors’ organization in an emotional, impromptu chat with reporters.

“I’m going to go in there and crush them, the team,” said Sprewell, whose choking of Carlesimo on Dec. 1, 1997, led to the termination of his contract and suspension from the league. “I just want to play well because of the way the organization handled the whole situation. Bitterness, hatred, whatever you want to call it, it’s there.”

Spree, who scored 24 of his 26 points in the second half as the Knicks beat the Nuggets 102-95 last night, also accused the Golden State organization of leaking the choking incident to Peter Vecsey of The Post, who broke the story.

“They could’ve handled it better,” Sprewell said. “It happened behind closed doors in practice. No one knew. The next thing you know Peter Vecsey finds out. I don’t know how it got back to him. I have questions on that. It was an in-house thing and it could’ve stayed that way.

“I can’t see how I wouldn’t be ready to play that game,” Sprewell added. ” Going to be a lot going on. I’ve gotten past all that, but I do want to go back and be able to play well. I’d just love it if we’d just killed them.”

Sprewell also took Golden State GM Garry St. Jean to task, saying his complaints on P.J. fell on deaf ears.

“It was like talking to a wall,” Sprewell said. “Nothing happened. Nothing changed. The GM is supposed to be over the coach but in that situation, P.J. was hired before St. Jean and getting paid more. He had more status than the general manager.”

Sprewell said he doesn’t expect to speak or shake P.J.’s hand Saturday but added, “If he’s right there, I might shake his hand out of respect,” Sprewell said. “But it doesn’t change what happened. It doesn’t change the way I feel.”

Carlesimo has said the choking incident came out of nowhere, that the two had only minor problems before. Sprewell couldn’t have disagreed more last night.

“There was a period where we were arguing on a daily basis for about a month,” Sprewell said. “We had several arguments in practice. We had a well-documented altercation on the sidelines in [Utah].

“The players knew it. The coaches knew it. For a month, it was he and I going back and forth before it boiled over. It wasn’t the small things he may have told you. Sometimes it was little stuff like he wasn’t happy with the way I was stretching. I couldn’t believe it.

“There was one incident. I was talking to Joe Smith during stretching and P.J. says he doesn’t want me talking because we’re practicing. We weren’t practicing. We’re about to practice and he’s on me for that.”
